In this YouTube™ video, Tay Zonday performs his song Chocolate Rain/Choklit Reighn, a song about Jenkem. Jenkem is perhaps best described as an end-user delivery system for a psychotropic substance confected from human waste matter. We wrote about this earlier. . .here, and here, if you'd want to know more. On the whole, I think I'd prefer bourbon.
The Lyrics:
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin
Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went
Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say
Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate
Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain Made you turn your head the other way
(Chorus) Chocolate Rain History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again [Repeat]
Chocolate Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain
It's the fear your leaders call control
Chocolate Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names Chocolate Rain Say it publicly and you're insane
Chocolate Rain
No one wants to hear about it now Chocolate Rain Wish real hard it goes away somehow
Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight Chocolate Rain But did they know each other in the light?
Chocolate Rain
Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain Stays behind as colors celebrate
Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay chocolate Rain The judge and jury swear it's not the face
(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
Dirty secrets of economy Chocolate Rain Turns that body into GDP
Chocolate Rain
The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
Chocolate Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make
Chocolate Rain '
Flippin cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Chocolate Rain
'Cross the world and back it's all the same
Chocolate Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
Chocolate Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain
Which part do you think you're 'livin in?
Chocolate Rain
More than 'marchin more than passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are

John Edwards takes a final swipe at Sen. Barack Obama, who he says may be living in never-never land
click to enlarge
Yesterday morning at a forum for undecided voters in Independence, Iowa—and there must be plenty of undecideds, the way the polls swing back and forth—Ex-Senator John Edwards repeated his criticism of Barack Obama, saying that any candidate who thinks he or she can invite corporate America to the table and achieve real results for Americans "is living in never-never land."
In a wide-ranging interview with ABC News Friday afternoon, the former North Carolina senator labeled as "ridiculous" the comments made by the Obama campaign linking Ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination to Sen. Hillary Clinton's vote to authorize the use of force against Iraq. On the other hand, he did embrace Sen. Barack Obama's politics over Clinton's, and said that an anti-Obama flier from a pro-Clinton union was "misleading" and "deceptive."
I like Obama, but I like him best for Vice-President paired with (in descending order) Joe Biden, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, or Bill Richardson. On the other hand, he's not a bad senator, missing plenty of votes this election season notwithstanding...

The angels are weeping. . .
The angels are weeping today, for Benazir Bhutto, her family, and Pakistan itself, and for the six members of the Anderson family of Carnation, Washington (near Seattle), who were gunned down on Christmas Eve by their daughter/sister/aunt and her boyfriend

"They were my family, too, you know?" Joe McEnroe told a Seattle Times reporter in a jailhouse interview. He may face death for the Carnation slayings.
And the angels weep for Benazir Bhutto, who was not perfect, but who had become a sort of JFK-figure of hope/beacon of light to the mess that is Pakistan.

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated in Pakistan
Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday by an attacker who shot her after a campaign rally. The killer then blew himself up; at least he got that part right.
Like Benazir or not (and she admittedly has a whiff of corruption too), this is not good. Pakistan sits smack dab in the middle of the powder keg; situated between Afghanistan, Iran, India and China, Pakistan is the second largest Muslim country in the world, and stability there is central to world peace.
The prime ministerial elections are just around the corner, and the next government is crucial —especially with current president General Pervez Musharraf [US buddy and George Bush ally]accused of blocking two former PMs—Bhutto and rival Nawaz Sharif—from running with the use of controversial legislation. If you are Nawaz Sharif, this has to be a sleepless night.

Bhutto's death stoked chaos and a wave of "civil unrest" across Pakitstan. President Musharif, vowed to obtain justice. Of course he did...not long after he popped the cork on a bottle of Dom Perignon— However, we all know he was no fan of Benazir. Obviously no one wants rioting in an already volatile country that happens to be a member of the nuclear-capable club. They are a critical U.S. ally in the war on terror. President Musharraf has functioned as a George Bush lapdog, and it was clear Benazir would not be on the boat. Do I think President George W. Bush was involved in the assassination? Absolutely not. Do I think he took the same tact as Phil Leotardo's capos on The Sopranos? Maybe. Do I think George Bush said to Musharraf "You do what you gotta do?" Maybe.
Benazir Bhutto became the first female prime minister in the Muslim world when she was elected in 1988 at the age of 35. She was deposed in 1990, re-elected in 1993, and ousted again in 1996 amid charges of corruption and mismanagement. She said the charges were politically motivated...but in 1999 she chose, right or wrong, to stay in exile rather than go home and face the music.
Bhutto, 54, will be buried alongside the grave of her father, former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was removed from power in a 1977 junta and executed.

Are Obama and Huck in a tailspin?
In what has to be her best Christmas gift this year, an ARG poll released this week seems to show Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton with a comeback double-digit lead over Senator Barack Hussein Obama among likely caucus-goers.
Clinton and Obama were in a dead heat in last week’s American Research Group poll. In the new survey (December 20-23), she leads the Illinois senator by 15% (34 to 19). If you account for sampling errors, Obama is now in a statistical tie for second place with Ex-Senator John Edwards, who has 20 percent of the vote.
Last week, Mike Huckabee was ahead of Mitt Romney by an 11-point margin. . .but the new poll puts the two back in a statistical tie, 23 to 21 percent, followed by John McCain at 17%, Rudy Giuliani with 14 percent, and even Ron Paul has climbed to 10 %, up from 4 % last week. Man, if Ron Paul is doubling his numbers Huck, Mitt, Crazy John, and Rudy "Queeg" Giuliani must really be blowing it!

Joseph not the father?
Modern DNA testing recently revealed what Joseph probably already knew: that he was not the actual father of Jesus Christ. Knowing she was a virgin might have been the big tip-off.

Jeri Kehn Thompson On The Road/All This Is That's Comprehensive Jeri Kehn Coverage Continues With New Photos
Jeri Kehn charming The Heat
Fred intervenes, possibly to prevent a frisking
As you know, recently we've closely followed the campaign of Jeri Kehn Thompson and her husband Fred (or, at least some aspects of that campaign).
click to enlarge Fred, Hayden, Jeri
and Samuel Thompson
On Stage Together
Jeri Kehn Thompson (born September 30, 1966) is a former media consultant to a Washington law firm, who also worked for the Republican Senate Conference and the Republican National Committee. Ms. Thompson is married to Fred Thompson, ExSenator, attorney, actor, and struggling 2008 Republican Presidential Candidate. According to many reports Ms. Thompson is not a trophy wife, or arm candy. She urged her husband to run, helped recruit some of his key staffer, and according to Michelle Cottle (Jeri Rigged: The machinations of Mrs. Fred Thompson", The New Republic, 2007-10-22), has also been responsible for the dismissal of other staff members.
On Stage Again
Jeri campaigns in Iowa in a cowboy hat
At the firemen's insistence, Jeri Kehn swaps her

Although Jeri Kehn is 24 years younger than the Ex-Senator, most people don't consider it a deal-breaker. After all, Frances Folsom Cleveland was 27 years younger than President Grover Cleveland, and Julia Gardiner Tyler was 30 years younger than President John Tyler.

But that's not an issue, really. After it's almost criminally late start, Thompson has drawn fire for his anemic fund-raising and campaign schedules. It's now widely acknowledged that the senator is having a tough time conveying--and generating!--enthusiasm for his bid. The conventional wisdom says that Thompson's heart isn't in the fight. Even if she can sell herself to voters, can she sell them on a husband that seems to not much care about closing the deal?
Other recent appearances by Jeri Kehn on All This Is That:
Even Jeri Kehn can't resuscitate her husband's wheezing, tubercular campaign (but it's fun to watch while she tries)

John Edwards/Andrew Young: Who's the father of the "love child"?
Obviously this alleged John Edwards scandal is based on some pretty flimsy evidence. . .wouldn't it have erupted in the mainstream press if there was even a whiff of an affair? Even Matt Drudge backed away from the story. The enquirer does lay out a plausible story, wth many notable gaps, including another man, Andrew Young, claiming paternity of the "love child:""Presidential candidate John Edwards is caught up in a love child scandal, a blockbuster ENQUIRER investigation has discovered.The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that Rielle Hunter, a woman linked to Edwards in a cheating scandal earlier this year, is more than six months pregnant — and she's told a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her baby!The ENQUIRER's political bombshell comes just weeks after Edwards emphatically denied having an affair with Rielle, who formerly worked on his campaign and told another close pal that she was romantically involved with the married ex-senator.The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is expecting, but that she's gone into hiding with the help of a former aide to Edwards. The visibly pregnant blonde has relocated from the New York area to Chapel Hill, N.C., where she is living in an upscale gated community near political operative Andrew Young, who's been extremely close to Edwards for years and was a key official in his presidential campaign.

This live video is not quite up to their recorded version, but fascinating nonetheless.
